Ok. Thinking more on this I guess the situation I described above will indeed be a rare
case. There would be additional complexity in ensuring that the codecs are always operating
in sync. It would perhaps be simpler to cascade the codecs (if supported) and use only one
interface to transfer the data. Or just use multichannel codec like Michal and Daniel
are doing.
